When you're looking to step up your appetizer game, try these chicken pinwheels. They're so good and easy to make. The moist and tangy chicken and creamy cheese mixture are rolled into a soft and buttery crescent dough. Drizzling a creamy lemon sauce over the pinwheels adds an extra punch of citrus flavor. Serve for fancier football fare, New Year's Eve appetizer, or when you want a lighter snack-like dinner. To quote my kids 'Oh my God mom these are heaven on a plate' and 'these are my new favorite meal' and 'what's that word for something that tastes hommie, oh yeah, homestyle.' Needless to say, these are a new favorite in our family. Hubby, my two sons, and daughter-in-law gave them their seal of approval and rave reviews on Sunday night. I came up with this recipe and just had to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. We all loved them. One son had them without the sauce and loved them as much as those of us who ate them with the sauce. They are wonderful either way.

- Take crescent sheet out of the refrigerator and put down some flour on a board. Roll out sheet to form a slightly larger rectangle. Flour your rolling pin and be careful not to tear the crescent sheets. Only roll out one at a time. Keep the other one in the fridge until ready to use.
- Take half the chicken mixture and spread it on top of the crescent sheet carefully not to rip it. Roll into a log shape starting at the wide end.
